Tell me something and I will forget it.
Teach me something and I will learn.
Engage me and I will remember forever.

It is amazing how much the 24 news cycle has ruined our lives.
In the effort to fill so many hours with news the big news companies (Fox, CNN etc.) have convinced us that Lindsey Lohans underwear is news worthy or that a presidential candidate wearing or not wearing a flag pin on their lapel is all we need to know about their elect ability.
There are major issues that could be discussed longer and more indepth by the news stations, such as global warming, world hunger or more than a sound bite from presidential candidates instead room is made for whether or not we can see a naked lady reflected in the vice presidents sunglasses.
At times I am embarrassed to think that in 50 years from now when our children's children look back in history and will ask why people were injecting poison under their skin to look younger or why congress spent their time interrogating baseball players on their use of steroids or not all while a war was going on in Iraq.
We do not learn from our past mistakes, in fact we prefer to keep repeating them. An endless cycle of stupidity and self inflicted ignorance. I could go on for quite sometime in regards to this epidemic of rampant stupidity , but I have to go and vote for my favorite American Idol!
